About the pelonkteam

We are an eclectic group of creatives with experience in events, entertainment, and all things 'fireworks' -- we live and breathe FUN! Our founder is a successful DJ in Washington DC who has performed internationally as her alter-ego, DJ Neekola, in conjunction with a variety of performers and production elements. She created Pelonkey to provide the latest and greatest in entertainment for big events, as well as to provide an ethical, trusted resource for both entertainers and event planners alike.

Neekola's team was built on the same foundations of passion, transparency and ethics. Haleluya, Pelonkey's DreamMaker and Glitter Trader, is your first step to making your entertainment dreams come alive! Haleluya's previous background in events, ability to capture your visions, and offer the best estimates for your budget, is how she earned her PelonkTitle 'DreamMaker/Glitter Trader'. Operations Ring Master, Michael, also lives up to his title by whipping our contracted events into shape -- applying his extensive experience in production and performance through his work with Disney and Universal Studios -- transforming your dream from ink to reality!

Haleluya was so great to work with on the pre-planning logistics. She was so attentive and responsive. Super friendly and accommodating. On-site, Haleluya and Michael were a joy to work with. The customer service was the best. Thank you!

Alexia Marquez, OSA Conference

Pelonkey was wonderful to work with for our event. They were prompt with responses to questions and with solutions for our event. The process was easy and we will absolutely book through Pelonkey again. Thank you for a great experience.

Abbey Slitor, The Phillips Collection's 'Celebration of the Arts'

"Pelonkey is awesome. Their customer service, knowledge of their performers and they make sure to connect you with the right talent. Easy to work with and always provides a professional and exciting service."

Private Planner, IPW 2017 Closing Party

The stilt walkers in their custom outfits were a HIT! Thank you to Neekola for her patience and her enthusiasm as we made our vision come to life.

Thanks so much for being a part of the event!

WHAT IS MUSIC INTERACTIVE?

Founded by Eric Jao (aka DJ Enferno, whose credits include Madonna, Shakira, and Rihanna), Music Interactive develops and provides interactive music experiences in the form of Team Building workshops, Conference Session Interactive Shows, and Event Entertainment. Whether in small teams or large groups, Music Interactive's programs use music and crowd participation as a vehicle to inspire creativity and build connections.

She caters several performance varieties: a solo Electro-Swing DJ set, OR an interactive theatrical show -- she is quite the performer and can pop away from the DJ booth for engaging song and dance performances with your guests.

Chou Chou's sets can also feature custom Gatsby styled accompanying characters to include -- but certainly not limited to -- cigarette girls, flappers, handsome gents, cabaret performers, and even contortionists!

If you have a Gatsby era themed event, this is an absolute MUST HAVE to transport your guests thoroughly to the lavish past!

Neekola Blu

Neekola Blü is a futuristic themed music and acrobatic entertainment production designed for corporate and private events.

We place an emphasis on capturing your dream and vision before we put it all on paper.
